WhatsApp is introducing an "Incognito Chat" feature for its Meta AI assistant, designed to offer users private conversations that Meta itself cannot access. This new functionality is built upon WhatsApp's existing "Private Processing" infrastructure, which aims to maintain user privacy while integrating AI capabilities. The incognito chats are ephemeral by default and will disappear after the conversation ends, with Meta stating that these interactions will not be used to train its AI models. Additionally, Meta is rolling out a "Side Chat" feature that allows users to privately consult Meta AI about ongoing conversations without involving other participants. AI
